Doug! Thank you so much for such a welcoming series. For about a year now I've been trying to find a way to prepare matcha that brings me joy in the morning, and I have to say, after watching your videos, your preparation has given me something to look forward to in my morning. My whole household can't get enough of it either!!! Thank you again for your research and concise video essays!
I really appreciate the support! I'm glad my findings from the matcha rabbit whole were helpful to you in making authentic and delicious matcha at home ❤️
This is a really nice video, it’s clear that you’ve put much work into it. Now I’m going to make myself a matcha because this triggered some cravings 🍵
Thank you!! I appreciate that, it was a bit of work 😅 yes please!! I hope these instructions are helpful, let me know how your matcha latte turns out 🙂
just discovered your matcha mastered channel. i dont know if you have mentioned this or not. Nowadays there are so many milk options for matcha latte. AND...this choice will change your enjoyment greatly for sweetness, smoothness and creaminess. matcha latte is a modern day drink mix. if anyone who is serious about matcha, must try without milk. Or attend a traditional matcha ceremony.👍 thanks for your videos.👏
Great content, I really think this is helpful for matcha newbies or people like myself, who mainly drink it straight (water only) but may want to try a latte every now and then. I've gotten a matcha latte a few times at a cafe only to find it's really lacking in flavor, so I prefer to make my own. Regarding milk to matcha ratios, does it matter what type of milk you're using? I personally do not drink dairy so I wonder if you've personally tried other milks like soy, almond, oat, for example. Oat milk is also naturally sweet, so some people may not even need to use sugar/sweetener in their drink. Also, you're right that most "culinary" matcha brands are terrible. However, this type of branding is seen in markets outside of Japan. I never see it labeled "culinary" or "ceremonial" in Japan, you just have to test it out, lol. I'm also not entirely sure you need to purchase the higher tiered blend like Ippodo's Ummon to get a decent matcha latte, imho. I think most people would be happy with the Horai/Sayaka or even the more budget friendly Wakaki or Hatsu for a stronger matcha flavor, especially when they're adding milk and sweetener anyway. Of course taste is subjective, lol.
Thanks for the kinds words! and yes the flavor and ratios can change depending on which kinds of milk you use. I've found that whole milk, while deliciously creamy, mutes the matcha flavor the most out of all types of milk, so it will require the highest amounts of matcha. But, for other milks like almond, soy, or oat, you should taste a remarkably stronger matcha flavor when using the ratios I mentioned, so feel free to adjust them!
Could you post a video on how to prepare matcha tea please My first time attempting this, I hear about soaking the bamboo whisk, I would appreciate watching a video on this topic Thank you I’m looking forward to making matcha latte Looks so good and creamy Thanks
Great video. It's funny that you showed Matcha Cafe Maiko in your video towards the end when you were talking about powedery or diluted matcha. Do you dislike Maiko? Their matcha powder is actually one of the best I've tried for lattes and a good deal compared to importing Marukyu Koyamaen or Ippodo.
I think Cafe Maikos ice cream is quite good, but the lattes I’ve experienced at my local store are incredibly subpar, premixed in a jug and overly sweetened. I think the biggest bang for your buck is still Ippodo (cause of free shipping and also available on Amazon). even their more affordable matcha are already very very good for lattes like Wakaki and Ikuyo. For example, Wakaki goes for $13 for 40g, which would give you enough matcha for 13 lattes at about $1 per drink, and the resulting latte is much better than the $5 latte at Cafe Maiko
@@dougdoesdelicious Awesome, I’m enjoying an Ikuyo latte as I respond. I’ll have to try Wakaki. Which are your personal favorite matchas for lattes from Marukyu Koyamaen? Thanks!
Haha no problem, I hope the instructions are clear! For sugar it depends on preference, but I only like mines lightly sweet so I only put about 3 - 5 grams of brown sugar. So about 1 teaspoon max!
Look up cold whisk matcha latte. it's when you whisk the matcha directly into the milk. that way you'll reduce the risk of the latte tastes not as strong or too watered down. The issue with this method is just that you need to add the milk little by little, if not the milk will clump up the matcha powder.
